If VR is only available on One X, it wouldnt be very clever to launch a VR headset on a plattform when it basically has a userbase of 0.

IMO it is WAY smarter to release VR some times after you have a established userbase on One X to make vr games development a little bit attractive.

 

I dont think any developer would developer a  VR game for the One X with 0 One Xs and 0 Mixed Reality Headsets sold so far.

 

Next year, we may have 5 Mio Xbone One X and 2 or 3 Mio Mixed Reality Headsets beeing sold in the market. Making both compatible then with a strong luanch (forza, halo, whatever) would be way smarter

 

You're right though....The XBox doesn't have the luxury the PS4 has that VR works on the base console as well. It would be suicide for them to release just another peace of expensive kit parallel to their new expensive console. We can't even be sure if they will ever jump on board this gen...It's completely dependant on the X1X's sales numbers. (I doubt we'll ever get to know them though)

They are not releasing another expensive kit though, they only need to add software support for WMR headsets and charge OR and Steam a royalty for putting their games on XBox One X. Yet maybe the games would need quite a bit of work to run on the low spec cpu and it will take some time to create the dev tools.
